Are you sure about that? The majority in Northern MI certainly are. Station values have plummeted for a reason. Midwestern and MacGarb will never get the value of what their properties were worth 20 years ago. They will probably dissolve in a similar fashion to Northern Broadcasting when the respec...

KVAL is in Eugene. KEZI must be dominant there (Eugene was a two-station market into the 1980s)

Are they keeping their NBC affiliation?

I've also noticed that Chicago only has one grandfathered power FM, 90.1 WMBI (which also happens to be one of two stations below 92 MHz that cover most of the market). In Los Angeles and San Francisco, most of the full-market FMs have grandfathered power (with a few exceptions in each market)

I wouldn't be surprised if most if not all of these stations either have their licenses cancelled or get sold to a noncommercial entity within the next couple of years. IMHO, moving 106.3 from Ludington to TC has to be one of the worst moves in Michigan radio history. Not only did the 106.3 frequenc...

92.5 is back on the air playing 80's adult contemporary music.Not simulating any other station.Iding as WFDX Atlanta.Singal is coming in quite well in the greater Traverse City area. Ditto. Filed resumption of service notice with the FCC today: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/views/publ...

In Memphis, Audacy will move the Wolf format from 94.1 to 99.7, which runs grandfathered power (300kW)

Came across this on YouTube today!

In reality, Finster was their engine in this market, Can't say for sure,but from all the little tibits I've heard,it strongly sounds like Finster was fired by Blarney Stone. Just a random thought from a guy who is not in the radio biz, Would it be feasible or make sense for Smile FM to purchase the...

102.9 WWWW has now added HD. The HD2 is a simulcast of 1050 WTKA. I noticed this on Friday (3/24) evening when driving through Ann Arbor. I wonder when they turned it on. Speaking of turning on HD, both 102.3 and 106.5 in the Toledo area have turned on HD within the past few months (with 106.5 havi...

If this happens in Chicago, could we see a three-way call sign change?
96.3 (currently WBBM-FM) becomes WBMX-FM (while keeping the B96 name with a format shift)
104.3 (currently WBMX-FM) becomes WSCR-FM (new simulcast of 670)
105.9 (currently WCFS-FM) becomes WBBM-FM (keeps simulcast of 780)

Strong Tower Radio purchase's the 103.3 Translator from Fusion. Don't know how I came up with this but I'll throw it in the mix. The only thing crazier would be WMTR buying the 103.3 translator, leasing an HD subchannel, and running a simulcast of 96.1 (including the Tigers) on it (both the leased ...

Sounds like Clownsquare is ruining the Grand Rapids cluster, just like they've done with Flint. Isn't Grand Rapids their largest market? I think I remember seeing somewhere that GR is their largest market and now they only have a handful of local jocks outside of FB&HW in a cluster with four full-p...

Guessing,if this station goes back on air @100.7,it would displace Good News Media's Cadillac translator.

Depending on where the full power site would be located. If it were located near Bear Lake (or roughly anywhere west of US-31), the translator could stay.

Did WUOM ever have an HD2?

I thought they did once upon a time. I want to say it aired BBC World News, but I could be wrong.

I know WGVU had HD2 (oldies) and HD3 (jazz), but they're down to HD1 only. I'm surprised they're still HD (WGVS-FM has never run HD AFAIK)
